Self-care isn't just the glamourous, Pinterest-worthy Lush bath bombs and rosewater facial scrubs. It's also about doing the hard work to ensure that we - and the people around us - are healthy in ways that aren't as pretty to post about.
This Mental Health Week and all throughout October, Skillsroad wants you to look inside at yourself and focus on being mentally and physically healthy inside and out. That looks different for everyone, and is a unique journey just for you, but we've collated some useful resources, blogs and videos to help you get into the vibe of self-care.
Of course, you can do some bath bombs and throw some rose petals in there and snap a few photos. We're not stopping you - and relaxation and self-contemplation is a huge part of going on this journey! But it can't just stop there. This month and every month after that, take some time out to sit with yourself and ask: am I doing the kind of self-care my body and my brain needs right now? What resources do I need to grow and thrive? And how can I help myself be better?
